  WrTFTP v1.2 Copyright 2001 www.NetLatency.com

    A program to use SNMP to instruct a Cisco Catalyst (Kalpana) switch
    to copy its config to a TFTP server.

    To make sure this program runs correctly, make sure you have a read-write
    snmp community string set up on your switch.

  Usage:          WRTFTP ipAddress community TFTPserver filename [-l]

  Arguments:      ipAddress = IP address of router (or DNS name)
                  community = SNMP read/write community name on router
                  TFTPserver = IP address of TFTP server
                               (or DNS name as resolved by the server)
                  filename = directory and filename to save config
                  [-l] = Output success/failure information in logfile format
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Usage examples:

  WRTFTP 192.168.2.1 private 192.168.2.57 switch-config
	Instructs the switch at 192.168.2.1 with the community name "private"
        to copy its config to the TFTP server at 192.168.2.57 using
        the filename "config".

  WRTFTP demark smiley 192.168.2.57 config -l >> demarklog.txt
	Instructs the switch with the DNS name of "demark" and the community
        name "smiley" to copy its config to the TFTP server at
        192.168.2.57 using the filename "config".  The output will
        be printed in logfile format.  Pipe this information out to the text
        file "demarklog.txt".


Setting up SNMP on your switches
--------------------------------
Your switches must have an SNMP read/write community name set up to be able
to use WrTFTP.  To set up a read/write community name on a switch, use the
following procedure:

1. Login to the switch's console
2. Enter priveleged mode; type:
	ENABLE
3. Enter the enable password
4. Enter SNMP read/write community string; type:
	SET SNMP COMMUNITY READ-WRITE yourcommunityname
	(enter in your own community name in place of yourcommunityname)
5. Logout from the router's console; type:
	LOGOUT

NOTE: Choose your community name as you would choose a password.  A
read/write community string has the same access level as the enable
password on your switch!

At this point, you should be able to use WRTFTP to instruct the switch to
save this new config to a TFTP server by using the newly created community
name.
